  > what's the most negative in Google's actions in your opinion? One that I was pretty angry about a few months ago was soliciting the business of ICE/CBP, and firing workers who tried to raise awareness of this internally: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/25/technology/google-fires-workers.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/25/technology/google-fires-w... > do you have examples of routine critiques of Google that you feel are unjustified? One relatively recently one I remember was when Chrome announced that they were deprecating Chrome Apps in favor of Progressive Web Apps there was a lot of "Google is killing something again" backlash. But Chrome Apps were a Chrome-only solution Google came up with to make Chromebooks usable, and PWAs are the cross-browser replacement. Proprietary things that only work in Chrome should be replaced by standardized things, and this is actually a really good change.
